WALL-E (2008)

Seven hundred years ago, humanity evacuated Earth, driven away by the sheer quantity of garbage piling up; since then the planet’s sole occupant has been a little robot called Wall-E (Ben Burtt), whose job it is to dispose of all that garbage. Finally, however, a spaceship shows up and sends out another little robot, called E. V.E (Elissa Knight), to find out whether in humanity’s absence Earth has regained its ability to support life. Together, Wall-E and Eve manage to find a single plant growing among the garbage heaps and to return it to the human survivors still living on a huge spacegoing cruise liner. Unfortunately, humanity has gotten very comfortable where they are, with robots tending to their every need, and it may be more challenging than originally planned for Wall-E and E. V.E. to get the plant where it needs to be and help bring the human race back home.
